HOW?

How can someone,

Who knows not the truth,

Tell a lie?

How can someone,

Who has no wings,

Learn how to fly?

How can someone,

Who sheds no tears,

Know what it's like to cry?

How can someone,

Who knows not how to live,

Die?

How can someone,

Who knows not if their love is true,

Know what to do?

How can someone,

Who knows not how love should feel,

Know if their love is real?

How can someone,

Who carries not a note,

Sing a song?

How can someone,

Who feels so empty and alone,

Keep going on?

How can someone,

Who has a heart of stone,

Feel anything,

But cold to the bone?
